Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education

Playing with this new tool as I experiment with redesigning a course. Looks easy, flexible and powerful.

A very useful resource for anyone thinking of delivering on-line courses. Simple to use, and free!

Interesting looking tool. In Beta so it will only get better. UI is a bit ugly but that's not a deal breaker. 

Looks promising and pretty for curation.

Very cool! #WebConsultants #WebDesign

Thanks Robin for sharing this Curation guide on your scoop.it site. 

What about a test on this matter at the baccalaureat ?

I'm always asked by academics about the copyright implications...

Amazing catalogue of film clips which can be shared & embedded

Ideal for  Preston's annual Film Festival..

Very useful information about digital file formats.

A useful guide to the art of digital archiving.

Be sure to check out Robin Good's comments below.

Have not tried it yet thanks to Robin Good for the heads-up will give it a go, anyone using WP tried it?

Sometimes you need an archive of a site. Gret for slow bandwidth areas when you just want to show an aspect of a site. Here is how.

A useful addition to the digital curator's toolkit.

We can use these steps for our to become experts !

Learn all about curation here

An absolutely significant skill in any research or investigation, for educators and learners in the digital age - the curation of content- with a clear focus or question in mind, the capacity to target a search field, sift through, reflect on and make decisions about the most suitable resource or evidence to use. What a great learning experience.

A really wonderful way to describe a very important concept

Wow, this is what I've been thinking I should have my independent study kids doing!

The emergence of social networks impact is well-explained in this post.

Un article molt interessant que parla sobre que els estudiants necessiten aprendre des de xarxes socials professionals.

Collaboration can be both a formal structure for learning activity but also an underpinning framework for engagement and fostering life-long learning.  Learning networks are part the new learning ecosystem and should be recognised and supported.

Nextly is a free web app which allows you to create collections of web pages that can be easily navigated as a tour on any device. 

Via the integrated Add Page feature or the accompanying bookmarklet you can add just about any web page to one of your collections, as well as content coming from Twitter, Facebook or RSS feeds and other social media.

A unique characterizing feature of Nextly is that the content of a collection gets pre-loaded when accessed by a user, making the browsing through elements of the collection quite fast. 

When browsing through a Nextly collection all original web pages are reproduced as they appear on the web, and are rapidly pre-fecthed to provide a faster loading experience.

My comment: Potentially a valuable content curation tool to organize specific sets of articles and distribute them in a format that is effective ad easy to access. It can be used also as an effective new reader and news discovery tool.

Free to use.

Es potencialmente una valiosa herramienta de curaduría de contenidos para organizar conjuntos específicos de artículos y distribuirlos en un formato que es eficaz y de fácil acceso. También se puede utilizar como un nuevo lector eficaz y como herramienta de descubrimiento de prensa y contenidos.

I'm going to have to investigate this further to see how practical it REALLY is.  It seems like every week there's something else like this that comes out. 

One thing that occurs to me thought:  I wonder if it would be possible to use this or tools like it, to create sellable content...some new type of curated content ebook?

According to the site, they have the ability to strip the ads off the videos you put on your lists.  Makes me wonder how YouTube and Vimeo will react once they realize they aren't getting ad-views.  And if there are no ad-views, how the makers will feel about the loss of revenue?

The founder is James Yang.  There's a nice article about him on Social Times: http://socialtimes.com/huzzaz-makes-it-easy-to-create-and-share-video-playlists_b136571

From the article: Huzzaz is a passion project. “I just want to create something that helps make the world a better place.”

Mi limito a tradurre all'impronta la recensione di Robin Good

Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano has an interesting and highly visual post on collecting vs. curating with Twitter, and on the curation potential Twitter has in store for those involved in education.

She quotes Mike Fisher writing: "Collecting is what kids do when asked to find resources for a particular topic. Usually, it represents the first 3 or 4 hits on a Google search, without meaning, discernment, or connections.

Curating is different. It’s the Critical Thinker’s collection, and involves several nuances (see Figure 1) that separate it as an independent and classroom-worthy task."

Useful. Resourceful. 7/10

Robin's curated posts hits it on the nail with the distinct differences and although I like the visual aspects of the post, I struggle with referring to Twitter as a curating tool.

It is certainly a critical tool for collecting, researching and having the conversations. I think there is a challenge on how to effectively curate with Twitter. I know many use Storify to do this which is often a re- representationof the tweets.

 I am very interested in how Twitter will use Summnify aand Posterous in the field of curation.

As a result, I really likw the distinctions made and the logic the author takes us through. I would  perhaps be a little more cautious with referring  Twitter as a curation tool.

Useful 6/10

8. This links a series of three interviews quite lengthy but there is some insightful information for the novice in the digital information age. There is video links within the article, including a great question and answer with Robin Good on curation. The video brings a balance to this inclusion.
